Since 1977, I’ve been testing recipes on my beloved husband. All of the recipes on my blog have been Husband-Tested in my kitchen using ingredients I purchase at our community-owned grocery store, Lost River Market & Deli and also at the Orange County HomeGrown Farmers Markets in the beautiful hills of South Central Indiana. I do this as a hobby on a volunteer basis. I LOVE TO COOK!

Pasta Puttanesca

Recipe from Martha Stewart Husband-Tested in Alice's KitchenIf you love garlicky, salty things and pasta, you'll love this. This pasta is a powerhouse of flavor with garlic, capers, and anchovies. People who swear they'll never eat an anchovy are quite surprised to find out that some of the foods they love, like Caesar salad dressing and Worcestershire Sauce, are made with anchovies. Make this for dinner tonight and pack up any leftovers for your lunch tomorrow. All of the ingredients for this great pasta dish can be found at Lost River Market & Deli.
